Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen doesn’t want to see Mike Tyson end up in a chair getting a ‘humiliating’ tattoo after Jake Paul challenged the heavyweight icon to a bet for their upcoming fight.
Tyson and Paul and just weeks away from stepping into the ring at the AT&T Stadium with both fighters ramping up their preparations.
And Paul upped the ante last week when he donned a fat suit and challenged Tyson to accept a separate wager for their fight.
“Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,’’ said Paul.

“But, if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says I love Jake Paul. Deal or no deal?”
However, the bet has left a sour taste in the mouth of Sonnen, who feels it’s left Tyson in an awkward position.
“That evoked an emotion in me,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.
“That made my stomach uncomfortable.
“By the way, I love it and I hate it so much that it made my stomach uncomfortable.”
He added: “There’s a part of me that goes, ‘Mike, you can’t turn that down. We need to know Mike that you believe. We need to know that you’re out there to beat this man, to damage this man, to stop this man like old ferocious Mike Tyson would do’.
“Taking that bet, you’d let us know alright.”
He added: “What if Mike is sitting there in the chair… and he’s getting a ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo,
“There’s nothing cool about that. There’s nothing short of humiliating about that.
“It’s not the first time. Jake Paul’s done the tattoo bet how many times?

“Tyron Woodley lost the bet and went and did it.”
He added: “Mike Tyson cannot go and have a tattoo and have this out on Instagram smiling, thinking ‘ah, shucks this sure is funny’.
“He can’t do that. It makes me feel uncomfortable.”
